Pit Crew Tire
Technology

Proper Inflation saves you money -
maybe your LIFE!

Check your tire pressure regularly.
According to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, 80% of the vehicles
on the road are driving on under
inflated tires. Nearly 4 million
gallons of gas could be saved each
and every day if all vehicle tires
were inflated to the manufacturers
recommended pressure.

Get the most out of
your tires. Properly inflated tires
wear more evenly and grip the road
better. Tire blow-outs are also
greatly reduced by maintaining the
proper tire pressure.

On rear wheel or four
wheel drive vehicles, rotate
the tires in a rearward
cross pattern (fig. C) or
the alternative X pattern
(fig. B)

If your car has
directional wheels or tires,
rotate them as shown in fig.
D

If your car has
non-directional tires that
are different size from
front to rear, rotate them
as shown in fig. E

We use Nitrogen(No
additional charge!!)

Upon
request, Pit Crew Tire Service
utilizes Nitrogen rather than
standard "air" for tire inflation.
Air can later be added/mixed with
Nitrogen if additional tire
inflation is ever required.

Perma is an air products company
that markets a product called
Prism membrane nitrogen system
series 1400. This product is
an on board nitrogen generator.
Most companies purchase nitrogen
in cylinders at about 2000
p.s.i. We at Pit Crew
have chosen to invest in a
system that will create nitrogen
on demand and store it in an
on-board 80
gal storage tank at low
pressure. (170 p.s.i. for
safety concerns) The USA trails
European tire technology by
about 10 years. Today's bottled
water was a luxury 30 years ago,
nitrogen for our tires is
analogous to this example Pit
Crew is a forward looking
company that sees that nitrogen
is the future for tire inflation
and is ready now too bring this
important service to it's
valuable customers.

Like adding bottled water
to tap water! Still better than
all tap water!

Why Nitrogen?

Nitrogen is an inert,
noncombustible, nonflammable and
non-corrosive gas--has been used as
a tire inflatant for years in
commercial and military aircraft,
space shuttle transport vehicles,
NASCAR, Cart, Indy, imsa, scca
racing, earthmoving equipment, and
other applications where tires are
subject to unusual stress.

Nitrogen is a superior tire
inflatant because it diffuses
through tire rubber 30 40 percent
slower than air. As a result, proper
tire pressure is maintained for a
much longer period of time. Nitrogen
has no fluctuation of pressure due
to temp (hot or cold, winter or
summer) heat the tire pressure stays
the same. Therefore always giving
the tire the same foot print all the
time, and improving tire wear in a
uniformed manner.

Properly inflated tires maintain the
correct footprint on the road, which
minimizes squirm and rapid tire
wear. Nitrogen further extends tire
life because it is a clean,
moisture free gas which
significantly reduces internal tire
oxidization and wheel corrosion
caused by wet and oily compressed
air. An important improvement of
only five percent in tire life for
the vehicles on the road today would
also have a positive impact on the
environment - resulting in at
least 10 million fewer tires to
dispose of each year!
